Farewell, My Friend

Saddest words are spoken at the bier “Farewell, my friend,” through a tear, Remembering good times we shared You were the one who always cared, I’ll surely miss your warm, loving smile But I know I’ll see you after a while In a better place and a grander setting, When eternal reward we’ll be getting.
HONORABLE MENTION Written July 5, 2022 For “Farewell Theme Rhyming Contest” Sponsored by Lisa YY

As Roy Rogers used to croon, 'Happy Trails -- until we meet again...'

Heartfelt theme my friend. It sucks to loose a " A True Friend" and your right someday we meet again in that special place. Be blessed Milton...
